So Much Depends Upon

So much depends upon,
the little blue icebox
with a heart full of forgiveness
for those who abandoned him
next to the cold breakfast of
plums that were half eaten.

The icebox probably thought that they
meant to take him to his house but,
they did mean to leave him behind.

His days of carrying sweets were over
the cold was going to ruin him
so with his final breath saying,
"I forgive you for forgetting to save me."
